Making a custom “ledge” brush

- I love making custom brushes.…It's so much fun to dig in to the brush settings…and make something that gives you more sculpting power.…One custom brush that I made is called the ledge brush.…Let me show you what it does…and then I'll show you how I made it.…Okay this brush is going to be great for making gills…on this shark.…Let me zoom in here…and just show you what I mean.…The grid's kind of getting in the way.…Going to turn off the floor here.…

So you can see I just sculpt gills…directly onto the shark.…Now this might not be right for a very anatomically…correct shark where the gills need to actually enter…inside the body,…but for something that's just going to be…seen from a distance,…this is a really great effect.…So this brush is based on a custom alpha that I made.…I'm going to show you the whole process…of making this alpha…and then setting all the brush controls that are needed.…For making the alpha I'm going to use Photoshop.…If you don't have Photoshop,…you can probably follow along with some other…image editing software…
